You have two "fully supported" options for the PS4 today: Thrustmaster T80 (bungee cord) and T300 (brushless belt-driven FFB wheel). You also have two "works in games but doesn't control PS4 menus" options: Thrustmaster T100 and T500. Common theme is Thrustmaster. None of these wheels comes with a shifter, but the TH8A can be purchased separately and is a huge step up from the G27 H-shifter.

The pCARS forum has a thread discussing the decent FFB options: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/ps4-t300-gte-or-t500rs.319404/

Many Gran Turismo fans are biting the bullet and upgrading to Thrustmaster. The T500 is a known sturdy wheel. The T300 still has teething troubles, but if you are prepared that you might get issues it's the more modern tech and really does feel like an upgraded G27: way smoother, more powerful, quieter, no rattling cogs, but just as agile (unlike earlier belt driven wheels which tended to be less agile than a G27)


To answer your question: Right now I'd go for a T300RS, T3PA pedals (for clutch and excellent brake progressive feel) and TH8A shifter for maximal PS4 compatibility. But the T3PA are very hard to get hold of. T500RS plus TH8A will also do the job, read in the thread above how the two wheels compare.


Edit: Forgot to mention that you can reuse the G27 pedals (for clutch) with a cheap 3rd party adapter. See the OP of the T300RS thread for details on the options. Assuming you don't intend to sell your G27 that would be the cheapest and easiest way of adding a clutch to a T300. The T500 pedals are better than G27 ones and wouldn't need to be changed.

Thanks skazz for your help.i was looking at the t300 but it just didnt look as well made as the g27. is that real leather on the t300 ? to be fair, i never used the gear shifter on the g27 as it was pretty crap. what are the teething troubles on the t300 ? also do you happen to know if the t300 would work with my wheel stand pro v2. thanks again for your help and if anybodys got anything good or bad to say about the t300, please let me know before i reluctantly kiss my g27 goodbye. cheers
 
They were discussing using a T300 on the non-deluxe version of the wheelstand pro in the big T300 thread recently, basically if your WSP doesn't have mounting holes for a T500 I think you'll have issues. It's worth asking in that thread for safety.

All Thrustmaster wheel rims use a hard wearing rubber, not leather or alcantara. Some people dislike this, others (like me) have no issue with it.

Teething troubles on the T300 included a batch with some tolerance issues with the shaft components, and more recently people getting motor issues, power supply issues. The same kinds of things often seen with a new wheel during the first 6 months of production. From past experience risk of issues goes down after the first months of availability of a new wheel, as the vendor gets production tolerances sorted. Unfortunate, but all niche peripheral vendors seem to have similar problems.
